Article tone

[edit]

This article seriously reads like an ad for the drug. Are there standards for articles about drugs? Murderbike 02:17, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The tone is certainly inappropriate; it is likely a copy/paste from a patient information leaflet. A rewrite is in order, and I'll check for a copyright violation—deletion and recreation may be necessary. Thanks for pointing this out. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 02:54, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it was indeed a copy/paste from the Mayo Clinic website, which uses copyrighted Micromedex content. I've deleted the article and restored the "clean" versions; it would be nice to reintroduce any useful information which was lost. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 02:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

I saw the content of the article is identical verbatim from [1]. I found it from [2] earwig search result. I cannot tell which site is copying from which, and there is no web archive link, but earwig also flags a second article for copyvio concerns, [3].

@Darcyisverycute: I believe it's a backwards copy. We've had the majority of the text since ~2008/2009, while that domain wasn't registered until 2019 and the page source contains "datePublished":"2020-10-07T09:15:13+00:00" ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 15:40, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for looking into it. I'll try to remember checking the source code for fields like that in future, I didn't think of that. Darcyisverycute (talk) 22:50, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, just remember that the source code isn't always accurate, so it's best to look at other things (archives, etc.) as well. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 22:54, 11 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
